[ID: three images. All contain loosely rendered hands on a grey background. Image 1: Etho and Joel. Both hands are drawn facing away from the viewer, Joel’s hand has his fingers slightly splayed. Both have a yellow string in tied in a clove hitch knot. Text reads: Etho and Joel: Clove hitch knot. A boating knot that is quick and easily formed, but easily comes apart. — Image 2: Impulse and Bdubs. Their hands are drawn as if about to shake hands. Both have a green string tied in a true lovers knot. Text reads “impulse and bdubs: true lovers knot. Mostly decorative, still stable. Yknow, cause they really go for the whole ‘soulmates’ thing. There are three different knots with this name, it’s not relevant, just neat!”— image 3: Tango and Jimmy- both are drawn as if reaching out for something, both have a yellow string tied in a double constrictor knot. Text reads “Tango & Jimmy: double constrictor knot. Used in sutures. Incredibly strong and stable, to the point where it can damage and disfigure what it’s tied to. Nearly impossible to undo without cutting it. End ID]
Ideas about design, knot tying and “soulmate” relationships :]
here’s the original post for context , and the previous post!
[ID: two images both contain loosely rendered hands on a grey background. Image 1: Grian and Scars hands. Grians hand is drawn as if reaching out in anguish, while scar has a thumbs up. They both have a green string tied in a bowline knot. Text reads “Grian and Scar: bowline knot. Relatively secure under tension but tends to slip and come undone when not baring a load. Cannot be tied or untied under tension.” — Image 2: ren and BigB. Their hands are drawn as if about to high five, and ren’s hand is more like a big paw. Both have a green string tied in a basic overhand knot. Text reads “ren and bigb: overhand knot but like, really tight. Incredibly simple, but effective. Just the most basic knot out there”. End ID]
thoughts on soulmates, knot typing metaphors, and design. and also like, some hands i guess.
Here’s the original post explaining the concept

hubris is a hell of a thing
i just love jimmy and tango had a bad start but now these two guys are building an ugly cottage together, a farm, raising chickens, a family of cows, just a couple of ranchers planning a barn for the future. They may not be the richest of the bunch, nor have the prettiest house, but its honest work.

minecraft is the perfect video game, actually
when I say that I don't mean it doesnt have its flaws, because it does - but it feels to me like the platonic ideal of a video game.
there are monsters to fight, but they're completely optional. the game is fully customizable. theres a suggested path, but nothing forces you to do it. it's just you and an empty world and absolutely anything you could want to do; it's the truest form of sandbox. even the world itself could be anything you want it to be
its kid friendly but not for kids only; it includes challenges that young players can overcome without getting too horribly frustrated and it encourages creativity (which means it will get support from children's guardians because it mostly keeps away from violence). but importantly, it's not sanitized - the nether is a hell dimension, one wrong move in the end could cost you everything, the terrifying warden - this fulfills children's desires to be scared in a safe environment! its exciting!
while this can sometimes bite mojang in the ass, I love that they try and include the community in the creative process, showing progress and ideas and asking for feedback and help with finding bugs. when minecraft is finally considered "complete", if that ever happens, it will feel like such a time capsule of the hard work of the devs and the desires of the player base, the special little thing that we made together
speaking of kids, I love that during Mojang's live events, it feels like they treat all players equally: adults and their questions & ideas feel just as included as kids and their questions & ideas. they speak to everyone at once, in ways that are easy for kids to listen to and be engaged with (shoutout to lydia) but that dont feel alienating to adults like myself. that's a pretty hard line to walk and I feel like they do it really well!
minecraft encourages players to be kind, to be constructive, to look at the world around them and think "what can this become?" minecraft wants players to make art, to become artists; it's a tool, it's an engine, it's a platform, it's a canvas. it's cozy. it's frighteningly lonely. it's a world that evolves seemingly on its own. it's something really beautiful
somehow xbfam got talking about demon impulse and regular little guy bdubs and i am extremely enamoured with the idea
the string isnt real, it cant hurt you
but it can rob you
I just adore these two having shenanigans together 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
oh god i've just realized about the goat horns how it's one horn being responded by many and as the series continues the response is going to lessen one by one until it's only a single call into an empty world
bdubs 🤝 joel
“funny prank on my love” *shatters knees so their soulmate feels it*
i think tango and jimmy is objectively the funniest pairing possible because they have like no beef with each other. literally just two guys. pretty much every other pairing has some bad blood from past seasons but tango and jimmy are just. well they’re soul bonded now.
shakes like a rabid dog, i can't stop drawing them
Grian swoops down from a tree, two squirrels in his talons (not much by way of food but they aren’t eating Scar’s stupid pandas so it will have to do for now), and hits the ground next to Scar with a thud. He looks up. Scar’s eyes are wide.
“You’ve seen me hunt before,” Grian says, shaking out his bloodied talons with a chime.
“You still have it,” Scar says.
“What?” Grian says.
“Around your ankle,” Scar says.
“…it’s not like I can take it off,” Grian says, as though he doesn’t have hands with which he could unlace the leather. But it feels—wrong. He’d never removed them. The bells being a warning for those he approached unexpectedly was a bonus, anyway, and it’s not like many people knew enough about falconry, Scar, or the strange hazy place they’d both gotten to in the desert where Grian’s head had blurred further into predator than usual to understand what it meant. In the Southlands, in fact, he’d been mostly teased for it, though Mumbo had given him considering looks the whole time.
“Huh,” Scar says.
“Honestly, did you not notice?”
“I followed the sound,” Scar says, “when I heard it. But even if it stopped me from losing track you, it’s not like it can make a falcon come back if you can’t give it a reason to or catch it,” Scar says, a little bitterly. “I just thought you’d get… I don’t know. You still have it.”
“I still have it,” Grian says. “I—”
“Don’t say sorry for things you aren’t.”
“You’re right,” Grian says.
“I’d forgotten how sharp your eyes are sometimes. Hunting.”
Grian looks at Scar for a long while and almost says he’d forgotten how it felt to have a home he was meant to be returning to after. He doesn’t. He huffs. “You’ll see it more. This isn’t enough food yet.”
“Hunt away,” Scar murmurs.
Grian he opens his wings again to soar into the trees. He hears the bells chiming, and it sounds like a red string, for whatever that means. He can feel Scar watch him as he goes.
“No going after any Jellies!” Scar shouts, and Grian rolls his eyes. He won’t. He wouldn’t. The bells are loud in his ears. He wouldn’t.
"We'll have each other's back, so...we'll be safe. There's nothing-"
"...You will never turn on me, would you?"
"No? Your life is my life, and vise versa, we gotta- we gotta keep taking care of each other."
Hey remember when we talked about Pearl coming across and befriending spider Gem since Pearl’s very friendly and probably wouldn’t mind her new friend being a spider.
Well what if DL!Pearl, sad and alone after being left alone by her soulmate and companion, went caving a bit with Tilly to make sure she has enough supplies and gear so that she doesn’t need allies or a soulmate. And what if she found an abandoned mineshaft, lit well and even moderately furnished. And what if she stumbled upon a lonely spider, who’s been rejected and driven away from her former friends since no one likes spiders. And the two might’ve even found solace and friendship in each other, outcasts looking for allies. And what if they were both happy and besties and weren’t sad.
Anyways let Spider Gem and Dl!Pearl be besties and have a friendship and heal from their loneliness together.

Gem's afterlife finale really got me feeling some type of Way
As a grey aroace, I have often felt deep feelings of loneliness as I watch everyone around me pair up with each other, leaving me alone. That's why for Pride Month, I'm teaming up with Pearlescentmoon from Double Life SMP
double life pearl my beloved <3
as much as i absolutely love the dynamic of scar and grian in double life can we p l e a s e talk about how pearl was left all alone like oh em gee the angst, the drama, my girl all alone with her dog after her soulmate and her friend decided to leave her ;-;
Feel so bad for Pearl like Scott you go build a ravine basement right now so she can live there. She doesn’t have to be your soulmate choose Cleo that’s cool but don’t leave her alone!!
I think pearl should couch surf. I want her to crash at different people's bases. I want her to be a heartbroken freeloader. She deserves to raid everyone's pantry.
Welcome home, Cheaters.
